Is there a way to get my shortcuts back?

Installed Start11v2 - the shortcut icons I had before are gone now

June 16, 2025 8:38:05 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hello, everyone.  I have had Start8 which I did not use, something did not work, so I put it on the shelf.

Recently renewed subscription and now I have Start11 which feels good, however before Start11 I pinned many applications and organized the shortcuts into folders and they are all gone now.  Is there a trick to use Start11 while keeping all the valuable stuff I had before?

Thanks

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not sure what you mean. But, you can use this guide to see where Start8 saved your settings. https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1335820295/Back-up+Start+Settings 

Thank you,

@basj, what I mean is this.  When Start11 is disabled my start menu looks like this - I have plenty of folders with app shortcuts in them:

 

When I enable Start11 all my shortcuts disappear:

 

 

I want both Start11 and my old application shortcuts.

 

Thank you
